The Wonderful World of Honeybees
July 5, 2010 – 10:20 pm
Did you know that honeybees must visit 2,000,000 flowers to make only a single pound of delicious honey? It takes 150 bees to make one teaspoon of this golden nectar! I recently visited Pete and Paul Blake of Blake’s Orchards and Cider Mill in Armada. They operate three farms equaling 700 acres, and honeybees are [...]
Achatz Handmade Pie Co. at the Fireworks
July 4, 2010 – 10:13 am
Achatz Handmade Pie Co. was at the recent “Flip Flopping Summer VIP Rooftop Party” in Detroit. We served 1,000 slices of our signature pie, the Michigan 4-Berry pie, plus our Double Crusted Apple pie, and our Tart Michigan Cherry pie. Then, we watched the awesome fireworks on the river! We were happy to be a [...]

We loved this pie so much [...]
Our Delicious Strawberry and Cream Pie
June 13, 2010 – 7:02 pm
Our clientele gets anxious for strawberry pies come May, so we’ll ship in some fresh berries from Florida… and sometimes we get lucky and get a really nice batch. Michigan strawberries are the best, though you have to be patient! Michigan berries — especially buying them from local farms close to home — just seem [...]

May 12, 2010 – 8:12 pm
We celebrated the opening of our seventh pie shop on May 2nd with giving out gift cards to the first 50 customers in line. People started lining up at 4:15 a.m.! one family brought their folding chairs and snuggies (it was pretty cold and rainy). We appreciate every one who came out to celebrate and [...]
